Welcome to Con Caruso Latin Dance
Welcome to North Canterbury's newest Salsa and Latin Dance school. We offer adult Latin dance classes in Rangiora and Christchurch.
​
Con and Anita, the founders of Con Caruso Latin Dance, have a shared passion for Latin dancing that they would like to share with others and inspire more people to become interested in the captivating and exciting dances that originated from Latin America.
Our Philosophy & Pledge to you
Con and Anita believe in treating dancers with dignity and respect, and an understanding that everybody's dance journey is unique. We act with integrity and professionalism. We do not act territorially over our students and we embrace and respect all styles of dancing. We believe the more dancing styles you try the more it will help you find who you really are as a dancer.
​
Partner dancing at it's heart is about connection, and the Latin dance community needs to stay connected and supportive of one another to thrive. We aim for a welcoming environment and communicating the joy of dance in our classes. We believe in inspiring others by leading by example and being good natured and considerate to our students needs.
